A caregiver plays a crucial role in providing assistance, support, and care to individuals who may need help with daily activities due to various circumstances, such as aging, illness, disability, or recovery from surgery.

They may also assist with organizing pill boxes, tracking medication schedules, and communicating with healthcare professionals about medication needs.
